Zach Galifianakis Drops By The Set and Shaves his Beard

Zach Galifianakis hosted Saturday Night Live this weekend which probably marks the first time in a generation that they have had a comedian host the show.

One of the best parts of the evening, however, was when Zach ran backstage while Vampire Weekend performed and shaved off his iconic hobo beard. Yes, he actually did shave the little guy off. Here’s a video of the incident.

Thankfully, after the skit with Zach sans beard he was able to get a replacement.

Will “Kick Ass” Really Kick Ass?



Coming to theaters this April is the comic book inspired film Kick Ass. On initial viewing of the theatrical trailer, one may be inclined to think that the movie looks very much like a Nickelodeon/Disney tween actioner similar to a Sky High. But don’t let that fool you. If you look closer, you may notice that the film is actually rated R and not something to let your teen just run off to all willy nilly. Also upon a brief examination of the internets, one can find the R-rated trailer that has been released and a clip from the movie of Nicholas Cage shooting his daughter. (Both of which are below to save you that search) The former provides plenty of blood, language and action in the form of a 12 year old vigilante called Hit Girl and the latter showcases a dysfunctional family dynamic and sets a darkly comedic tone.


So what does this mean as far as the watchability of the film is concerned?


Well the tween action/comedy not really worth checking out that the theatrical trailer makes it look like, it is not. A hyper-violent superhero action film , painted in blood splatters and highlighted with darkly comedic moments, that may just be worth a pop into the ol’ theatre, it just may be.


What is known for sure is that the film is produced by Tyler Durden’s company Plan B Entertainment, and we all know Tyler’s always right (Right?); It’s also being directed by Matthew Vaughn whose previous two directorial efforts are the Neil Gaiman inspired “Stardust” and the British crime tale known as “Layer Cake”. Oddly enough “Kick Ass” fits into his list of directorial credentials quite nicely, as it appears to be an odd conglomeration of both his previous movies’ styles, with a couple of injections of adrenaline mixed in for flavor. Add to this the comic book source material was penned by Mark Millar, whose comic book highlights include: Superman: Red Son, Wolverine, Fantastic Four, Wanted and Marvel Knights Spider-Man; and you got the possibility of a film that may actually kick some ass.


If you’re still on the fence about whether or not you want to see the film, but are interested enough to dig a little deeper, check out the movie’s website kickass-themovie.com





Christoph Waltz Wins Oscar for Inglourious Basterds

Christoph Waltz walked home Sunday night with an Oscar for his fantastic performance as the Jew Hunter from “Inglourious Basterds.” Here’s one of our favorite scenes from the movie as Col. Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz) explains how he finds hiding Jews.

Kevin Costner Not At the Oscars

Kevin Costner Waterworld
Kevin Costner won multiple Academy Awards for his movie “Dances with Wolves” but was snubbed for the epic “Waterworld.”  The Oscars are so unfair….

This Is How You Win an Oscar

In 1999, Roberto Benigni won the Academy Award for his role in the movie “Life is Beautiful.” He will probably be forever known for his acceptance of the Oscar more than the role itself. After Sophia Loren called out his name, Benigni freaked out and began walking on top of the seats.

Now that’s how you win an Oscar.

Movie Moment: The Princess Bride and The Poisoned Glass

Just remember kids, never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line. Unless it’s a poisoned glass situation where the Sicilian outsmarts himself like in this clip, one of our favorites, from the 80’s movie “The Princess Bride.”

The Princess Bride (1987) – The Poisoned Glass (2:04
Westley (Cary Elwes) tricks Vizzini (Wallace Shawn) and poisons him, allowing Westley and the Princess (Robin Wright Penn) to escape together

Oh My Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahd!

Oh this is great. Check out this epic clip from the movie Troll 2. An overacting teen boy looks on in horror as goblins eat a pile of green goo that used to be an overacting teen girl. He just realized that he’s next!

One Man Saw

The Red Green Show
People might not be familiar with the television program “The Red Green Show.” The sitcom-ey, sketch-comedy, parody show from Canada did appear in the States on PBS but went unnotcied by a lot of people which is a shame. Hopefully, the power of the Internet will help bring them back.

The television show is about a Canadian handyman who generally tries to find shortcuts to most of his projects, trusting the vast majority of his work to duct tape. Kinda like a mix between Bob Vila and MacGyver. Here he is trying to tackle the issue of using a two-man saw with only one person.

Well, one person and a van.

Great Idea! Bike On A Treadmill

One my ask,”Why don’t more people use bikes on treadmills?”

While the answer might be as obvious as to which is the better movie, “Goonies” or “Explorers,” we have provided some video evidence on the question.

We think it speaks for itself.

Craig Robinson Screensaver

Craig Robinson, star of the upcoming “Hot Tub Time Machine” movie, is one of our favorite comedians to pop up in films and TV. You may have seen him in the movies “40-year Old Virgin” and “The “Pineapple Express” and NBC’s “The Office.”

A lot of people may not know by the actor Craig Robinson is now available for download on your computer. Yep, there’s a Craig Robinson screensaver that’s been around for a bit and it says some funny stuff. It also says a bunch of NSFW stuff so beware.
